I can only imagine this being a GPU problem [similar to your T68403]

Have you tried upgrading your drivers?
If this doesnt help, please post the output of Help > Save System Info here

Nothing to upgrade, I'm up to date (I also cannot update drivers separately, because MacOS and AMD). Also, as mentioned in the previous issue, this also happens rarely, about twice per hour.

Here is the System Info:

I'd also like to mention that I've been using the 2.8 alphas for a long time without this kind of behavior, just started happening with Stable, although this might of course just be a coincidence.

Does this happen in 2.80 official release as well?
And is only borked in the buildbot builds after release?

Then it might have to do with rB651d8bfd98db: 3D View: Move selection API to a Selection engine. (and following related commits)

@Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii): does this ring a bell?

Sorry, by "Stable" I meant the Official Release, yeah, that's the one I'm currently using. I haven't tried the buildbot ones after official hit.

Could you try a buildbot build? [possibly the selection engine refactor changed something for the good?]
Also: are any Addons running? (does this happen with File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings?)

Apparently the problem happens in blf_font_draw_ex.
But it's hard to figure out the exact problem without any developer with the same OS reproducing it.
It is interesting to note that it also happens only after alt-tabbing to Blender.

Does the crash happen on occasions other than selecting an object?

I'll try a buildbot build and report back.

Does the crash happen on occasions other than selecting an object?

Well, I just reported another crash, but I'm not sure if it's related.

I mean doing something like:
Alt-tabbing to Blender + zoom in viewport
